attended the Capitol riot

Rep. Charlie Crist has called on Florida Gov. Ron De Santis to launch an independent commission into the state's ties to the Capitol insurrection, local media reported.

Crist, who served as Florida's governor from 2007 to 2011, told reporters on Friday he's concerned by the number of Floridians who were arrested in relation to the January 6 attack, which resulted in the deaths of five people.

"I'm calling on Gov. Ron DeSantis to protect our democracy by ordering a non-partisan investigation of Florida's outsized role in the Capitol Insurrection," Crist tweeted. "Hate and insurrection can have no home here. DeSantis must act to keep us safe."

He also told reporters on Friday the investigation would be essential in "protecting our communities from extremists," according to Tampa Bay Times.

10. Of course not. Criss, you and I know that. Now make DeSantis trip all over it until the election ..

Criss is no dummy. But DeSantis is a moron who can be trolled over it.

7. The easy answer is lawlessness and weak government, but the real cause

is the citizenry is being driven insane by Marco Rubio Biblical tweets.

8. If this investigation happens

...and that's a big if, Goobernor DeathSentence will follow the conspiracy theories in whatever direction they lead: Antifa, BLM, the librul media, illegal aliens, you name it. Or -- more precisely -- Sean InsHanity and MotherTucker Carlson name it! It will be anything but nonpartisan.

9. Desantis is teflon right now, but I hope that veneer cracks soon. I see very little pushback on him

by the media market I am in, NCFL. But what the hell Charlie, throw everything you can find at him.
